Random Musings (and associated non sequiturs) v. 3.0

It depends on the site. Even among the more legitimate ones (not Adult Friend Finder, for example), some are more geared toward hookups, where indiscriminate guys looking for casual sex tend to cast a wide net.

Also, as @Force10 alluded to, can’t rule out the Asian fetish guys, but be careful, because some of them think Asian = adventurous.

This site is one of the more legitimate ones, or at least I think so. A good friend of mine met his wife there, at least.

I think I know what you mean about Asian = adventurous. The first guy I went out with in my twenties ended up breaking up with me after it became clear that I wasn’t going to jump into bed with him because I wasn’t white and I was gasp two years older than him. Those two things apparently made me unsuitable for a serious relationship.

Also, I could understand it more if I weren’t a fat old lady. :wink:

I really wish you wouldn’t talk about yourself like that.

You mean you’re not a contortionist gymnast into S&M?
(I’m joking, of course. :wink: )
Not that they are mutually exclusive.

I’d support a sequel to The Labyrinth, but I don’t think codpiece technology has progressed enough yet.

If you build it they will … no, I don’t think I’m going to finish that thought after all…

While this may be sacrilege to some, I saw the trailer for Ant-Man and I was unimpressed. Kinda reminds me of the plot for Iron Man (the first movie of the now trilogy).

Guy gets supersuit. Guy uses supersuit. Guy fights other guy with similar supersuit.

Just left me thinking it wasn’t worth the time.

I can’t entirely disagree, but isn’t that how a lot of “superhero” movies go? The distinguishing parts are the backstories, conflicts & development arcs. Which you don’t get from the trailer (usually).

Yeah, there’s a guy on YouTube that does comparos…
Example here

That doesn’t make sense, for either Ant-Man I or Ant-Man II. That’s not the backstory either of them had.

Then again, Iron Man’s original backstory was thrown out as well.

Can’t you see why I’m so excited about Episode 7?

Isn’t there supposed to be one more set of Pluto pictures?

Wait, this is the same plot for Greatest American Hero too isn’t it?

At 1kb/sec, it’s going to take 16 months to get them all downlinked. Here’s the schedule of what we’ll get and when. What to expect when you're expecting a flyby:… | The Planetary Society

Thanks, I think we need to call help desk about that download speed though. Plus I can’t download and take pictures at the same time.

The next space craft to go out might have Pentium processors on them!

I wouldn’t bet on that. x86 is power-hungry and a complex instruction set compared to the R3000 that’s in New Horizons.

It has an Inkjet printer on board?

Is that so aliens can complete their TPS cover sheet upon first contact?

I hate when you find a reasonable, articulate viewpoint in opposition to the one you tend toward, and you start reading and you’re sympathetic and kind of seeing the perspective and getting some food for thought and avenues for further research

—and then they just go full-on batshit crazy and you give up and close the tab.

I’ve added a lot of friends on Facebook from the lefty looney perspective. And the links they come up with are wild. And some of them are really interesting, but it’s like they start talking in tongues.

So the crops aren’t producing enough pollen for wind born pollination. As a result we are all going to die and we need to kill the patriarchy because the Koch brothers faghn Monsanto and fnord the suckers.

Some of the right wing sites are just as looney.

People suck.

It really seems like a contest of “what I say is free speech, but you can’t say what you said”, on both/all sides.
